It’s not that simple. My relative works in a large hospital and has given many (cancer) patients vitamin D pills, yet their levels did not increase. We think that there are probably other cofacters needed. I think more research definitely needs to be done.
She has done this for many years and have a lot of patients. In any case—even if she is wrong—pills have shown to leach calcium from people’s bones.
In the end, the best thing is simply sunlight.
Here we see the problem with the appeal-to-relative. I don’t usually go about personally insulting people’s relatives and yet simply by rejecting the superstition declared above shend’s relative’s competence is called into question.
Vitamin D supplements reduce the amount of calcium leeched from the bones (and excreted in urine) and actually increase our ability to absorb calcium from food. There is a reason a lot of calcium supplements also include vitamin D.
In the end, the best thing is simply sunlight.
For killing vampires yes, for getting vitamin D, not so much.
This much is true. Swallow a supplement capsule and leave your skin alone!

Have you moved from rejecting mere wikipedia references and demanding studies with 10k+ to appealing to the speculation of your relative?

While the anecdote is interesting, cancer patients are perhaps not the best sample group for extrapolating to the healthy.
